Even Canon's CEO recently admit the market for DSLRs will bottom over the next couple of years because of smartphones. The writing has been on the wall for years. If the Nokia 9's five cameras live up to their hype, the end could be very near for "real cameras." While I've already replaced my mirrorless camera with my smartphone, I still need it for work. I’m a hardcore smartphone photographer and it brings me great joy to see phone cameras only getting more advanced. Still, I’m excited by the Nokia 9’s potential.

When your smartphone has manual settings, you can set the aperture. Let's hope so because five cameras won't mean much if you're spending all day waiting for photos to compile. You can even use them with your single camera phone.

In fact, HMD tells me they're still tweaking the software and the final build should be much quicker for image processing. That said, the phone was running on pre-production software, so what I saw might not be representative of the consumer release. The camera’s quick to shoot photos, but I noticed some noticeable sluggishness waiting for the software to combine images from the five cameras into a single shot. HMD gave me a brief demo of the Nokia 9 and the cameras (especially the maxed out depth-mapping) were mostly impressive.
Additionally, there’s a “Pro Camera UI” mode that includes the ability to shoot timelapses with exposure times of up to 10 seconds. There are two color camera sensors and three monochrome sensors.Īnd as if all of these pro-level camera features weren’t already enough, there’s also a native monochrome mode that captures black-and-white photos just like an SLR with black-and-white film would. Instead of the soon-to-be-common wide, telephoto, and ultra-wide camera combination, the Nokia 9’s five-camera array consists of two 12-megapixel color image sensors and three 12-megapixel monochromatic sensors, each with an f/1.8 aperture to collect tons of light.
So it’s not really absurd HMD’s trying to build on Nokia’s history with a new phone that emphasizes mobile photography.īut what makes the five cameras on the Nokia 9 so special? For one, they don’t work like the cameras on the Galaxy S10 or LG V40 ThinQ. Remember the then cutting-edge 5-megapixel camera on the Nokia N95? Or how about the Windows Phone 8-powered Nokia Lumia 1020 and its insane 41-megapixel PureView camera? Long before the iPhone or Galaxy or Pixel arrived, if you wanted the best camera you looked to Nokia to deliver. It's in the brand's DNA to be the camera phone.
